Mind over matter

[spartacus53]

I've actually spent the last weeks weeks studying an interesting book, "How The Mind Works", by Steven Pinker. The book gives great insight on how the brian is wired and basically what makes us tick.

Most interesting are the chapters that relate to controlling your body through your mind. You've heard stories wherein people have made pain vanish by concentrating on the area until the pain subsides. Well I have to admit, that and other things really do work when you put your mind to it


Through concentration, I can now raise and lower my cholesterol at will.

Why would I want to raise my cholesterol?

So I can lower it

YOu know I could go back and modify that, but I won't... Right now I'm concentrating on my dyslexic writing and have it under control

Brain power It can work for you too.... Well maybe

Soon enough I will be controlling the world and everyone will "Respect my authority."

There's are alot of matter in the mind!

 

[bigscoop]

matter; (from Websters) "....the substance of anything."
Break a leg. Does it matter, or is it just broken matter? Heck, can it matter?

 

[bigscoop]

If it mattered, was it reproducing?

I see much confusion here!

I believe the phrase goes;
If you don't mind, then it don't matter!

“If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters.”

Well sure, but that's all just a frame of mind, right?
